And today I was able to confirm it watching Savannah listening to music I played for her while she was busy playing in her playpen.
I love classical music and have always realized the effect it has on me. I don’t know about other people but I get antsy, anxious, crabby and depressed even when I listen to some of the stuff that is popular today. Call me an old fashioned albatross, but I just don’t like the beat, the sound and the feeling I get when I listen to it.
I read somewhere that some dairy farmers play classical music while they are milking the cows and they yield more milk. I can understand that if music has an effect on cows that supposedly have no feelings what then would it do to humans?
Savannah was playing in her playpen and as usual I play some background Chopin or Mozart in my attempt to get her to like music and hopefully be open to culture and intellectual endeavors later in her life. When there was a piece that was a bit on the sad side, played in a minor key and I watched as she became aware of the music how she began to pout at first and eventually broke into sobs, culminating in a full crying session. She wasn’t wet, she wasn’t hungry and she had just woken up about fifteen minutes before. So that there could only be an explanation: the music. I quickly changed it to something a bit more upbeat and sweet and she stopped crying, she gave me a smile and my soul also lit up alongside of hers.
This is what I played for her:
